CROSSOVER INSIDER – New Releases Marathon / Manitouwadge, Trailers, Gaming and INDY DAY on 19th
TYLER’s THOUGHTS…
Four years ago, we were introduced to three unlikely friends who after a night of partying in Las Vegas wake up with no recollection of what happened, or where their friend is. With over 230 million dollars in ticket sales, The Hangover became an instant cult classic. Two years later, the boys reunited for another adventure, this time in Thailand, scoring another 250 million dollars in theatre ticket sales. So it was no real surprise that a trilogy was announced with Part 3 expected to be the final chapter in the epic misadventures of Phil, Stu, Alan and the crew. Hangover 3 is this week’s premier release in a string week that features a total of nine new releases. Here is a brief synopsis of each of this week’s new movies;
